What I Know Now Poem by Diana monique Martinez

When I try to grasp the words I need, I exhale the words I thought I wanted.I rushed through something that took patience, so my result was unquestioned. The more I thought of what I knew the less I understood. When I tried to sit and think of what to write nothing came out, but when I was somewhere else my mind raced with many thoughts. It seems as if I can only compose a poem when I'm not so focused. Makes me think my mind is opposite. I don't think there is a problem because of it. What I need to say is not as perfect as what I wanted to say, but I Know now that sometimes we just have to take chances whether we need too or just want too. We need to follow our instincts because second thoughts become a doubt. So I have come to realize that life is about taking chances and not be afraid of any changes. We just need to remain persistent.
